Which limit promotes bronze bell cracking during repeated ancient Mesopotamian temple rituals?

💡 Explanation

Repeated thermal stress cycling causes cracking due to cyclic expansion and contraction; each temperature peak induces small strains, weakening material because of accumulated fatigue, therefore causing the bell to crack rather than creep or oxidation alone.
